The main lesson is that you need to completely separate a losing trade from your next trading decision to avoid making more mistakes.
đ Think of Your Loss Like a Car Fire
âą The Loss: Hitting a stop-loss is like your car catching fire. When the stop-loss hits, the "fire" is out you've accepted the loss, and the damage is done.
âą The Danger: You would never try to start driving a car immediately after it had been on fire! That would be crazy and likely cause another crash.
âą The Solution: The smart thing is to let the car (and your mind) cool down. You must pause, take a break for a day or two, and let your emotions settle before you even think about trading again.
đ§ Your Emotions are the Problem
âą Losing trades hurt the most when you were emotionally attached to them, feeling certain they would win. This feeling makes you want to immediately get the money back (revenge).
âą If you trade right away, your focus is only on "catching that money back," which leads to bad decisions.
âą The key is to wait until your mind is cool. After a few days, you can accept the loss, focus on the new week's plan, and only look forward.
The simple rule: Accept the loss, create a time gap (a pause), and let your emotions cool down so you can trade logically, not out of revenge.
